Blurb

A brash young woman and a boy with a mysterious arm search for answers while evading military assassins in this dystopian sci-fi action manga, perfect for fans of Akira and Sakamoto Days.
Following a wave of immigration, Japan has became a volatile mix of people and cultures, rocked by the protests of xenophobic extremists unhappy with the new status quo. A brash, job-hopping young woman named Riko is driving her scooter through one such protest when she sees a boy about to get run over by a truck. Riko just manages to shove him out of the way, and, in the hours that follow, she finds herself looking after the boy, named Eito.
Riko takes Eito out for a bowl of ramen, but just as they're about to dig in, Eito is fired upon by a distant army sniper. As the bullet pierces the restaurant window and comes whizzing toward Eito, plant-like tendrils snake out from his arm and stop it in mid-flight. Who in the world is this boy, and why is the army after him?!

Review

A-DO is an addictive sci-fi manga set in the not too distant future. From nearly the first page we are pulled into the action. The story is fast paced but it isn’t just that which keeps you hooked. Riko and Eito are brilliant, particularly Riko. I loved her fiery personality and how it came across. I also adore how we learn a little bit about Eito and the program he has come from but not everything.
The art work really suits the story and genre as well and it will be perfect for sci-fi fans, dystopian and action manga fans but at the same time I think this would be a perfect gateway manga. To give you some idea I instantly pre-ordered all the volumes currently available in English after reading this and cannot wait to see how the story unfolds.
